Innovating the School District
There is a growing desire for more flexible, reconfigurable learning spaces. Many districts are exploring campus-wide redesigns of communal spaces like libraries and innovating by adding modular furniture and eliminating bolted stacks, which no longer work well for today's digital learners.

Healthy School Buildings
Now more than ever, ensuring that K12 facilities are designed to be sustainable is important.
Sustainable Design for K12 Schools and Facilities
The health of our buildings and infrastructure directly impacts the well-being of humans and the environment. Therefore, maintaining K12 facilities is an environmental issue.
Increasingly, schools are designing classrooms that stimulate learning while preserving the natural environment. Something as simple as light fixtures can be crucial to energy savings and student focus. A simple green resolution would be to design rooms so that natural lighting dictates their visibility.
The classroom of the future must inspire exploration and experimentation. It must integrate technology in the classroom and with the devices that students use daily on campus and at home. It will incorporate dynamic ergonomics, such as touch screens and tables, that allow kids to reach across, face each other, and collaborate easily.
